With 30 years of fintech leadership, Origence empowers credit unions with innovative SaaS lending solutions that make lending more accessible, efficient, and competitive. We invest in our people and foster a culture of innovation, ownership, and continuous improvement. As we help shape the future of lending, we're leveraging AI and technology to streamline lending operations, enhance decision-making, and create value for our clients. We're seeking individuals who are energized by problem-solving, operational excellence, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact for our clients, partners, and teams

The Lead Credit Analyst serves as a subject matter expert and operational resource for the Credit Analyst team, bridging day-to-day underwriting excellence with structured knowledge transfer and data-driven performance insight. This role is responsible for designing and delivering training programs, providing structured mentorship across the IC career ladder, and developing analytics that inform underwriting quality, team performance, and portfolio trends. The Lead Credit Analyst partners directly with the Sr. Director, Operations & Lender Support and supervisory leadership to translate operational data into actionable improvements, support staff development, and ensure the team operates at a consistently high standard. Accuracy, program expertise, and the ability to build capability in others are fundamental to success in this role.

We think like owners, embrace complexity and ambiguity, challenge conventional thinking, and continuously pursue smarter, more effective ways to solve problems and advance the business. We value people who are adaptable, resourceful, and committed to delivering quality outcomes while continuously looking for ways to improve. If this mindset reflects who you are, you may be exactly who we're looking for.

Training & Knowledge Transfer

  • Design, maintain, and deliver structured onboarding and continuing education programs for Credit Analyst I through Sr. Credit Analyst levels, covering underwriting fundamentals, credit union program specifics, OLS guidelines, and applicable regulatory requirements.
  • Develop and maintain written training curricula, reference guides, decision frameworks, and system-specific job aids (including Temenos, L360, Meridian Link, Correlation Keystone, Loans PQ, and Ideal) that are accessible and consistently applied across the team.
  • Conduct regular training sessions in response to identified skill gaps, product or program changes, new client onboarding, and system implementations; evaluate effectiveness through quality metrics and decisioning accuracy trends.
  • Partner with supervisory leadership to identify development needs and create individualized learning plans for analysts progressing through the career ladder.
  • Document and maintain process and procedure updates in coordination with Sr. Credit Analysts and Operations leadership to ensure training content reflects current guidelines.

Mentorship & Team Development

  • Serve as a dedicated mentor and technical resource for Credit Analyst I, II, and III team members, providing structured guidance on complex credit decisions, exception requests, and program-specific challenges.

  • Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting tools that provide supervisors and the Sr. Director with real-time and periodic visibility into team and portfolio performance.
  • Conduct root cause analysis on quality escapes, SLA misses, and exception trends; partner with Operations leadership to develop corrective action plans supported by data.
  • Contribute to the design of performance metrics and reporting frameworks aligned with OLS operational goals and credit union partner requirements.

Underwriting

  • Maintain an active underwriting load to preserve subject matter expertise and credibility as a training and mentoring resource; decisions must reflect the highest standards of accuracy, compliance, and credit quality.
  • Underwrite across multiple credit union partners, products, and loan origination systems at a proficiency level consistent with Sr. Credit Analyst expectations.
  • Serve as an escalation resource for complex or high-risk applications, second-look exceptions, and novel credit scenarios outside standard decisioning guidelines.

Operations & Stakeholder Support

  • Support new client implementations by developing program-specific training content, facilitating analyst readiness assessments, and serving as a subject matter resource during onboarding.
  • Participate in testing and implementation of new software, systems, and product offerings; document system-specific workflows and translate changes into updated training materials.
  • Represent the underwriting team in cross-functional meetings with Operations, Quality Assurance, and client-facing teams; contribute underwriting perspective to process improvement initiatives.
  • Participate in client meetings and partner calls as requested by the Sr. Director to provide operational and analytical support.
